Whistleblower Hotline

The Whistleblower Hotline is a tool where the University community can, in good faith,
report misconduct, fraud, waste or abuse of University resources. For more information
on Whistleblower's rights, visit these sites:

What to Report?

You can report any suspected offenses of fraud, theft, waste, abuse or violations
of University policies and/or State or Federal laws. However, some issues may be referred
to a more appropriate department for investigation (e.g., Sexual Harassment to Human
Resources, Academic Misconduct to the Office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs,
Criminal Acts to Campus Police)

The Chief Audit Officer will receive and review reports and then determine the appropriate
action to be taken. If requested, the Chief Audit Officer will try to keep your identity
confidential. (See below)

When to Report?

As soon as you believe misconduct has occurred.

Can I Submit an Anonymous Complaint?

You can call from a number other than your own or use an anonymous e-mail account
to hide your identity. You may also mail your concerns anonymously. Individuals are
encouraged to disclose their identities when reporting a concern, in order that we
may contact you to obtain as much information as possible about the allegation.

Will My Identity Remain Confidential?

We will try to keep your identity confidential to the extent permitted by law or the
circumstances of the investigation.

What Happens After I Report?

Internal Audit will log the complaint and gather information to determine the appropriate
action needed. Depending on the nature of the complaint, it may be referred to another
department.
